Wouldnt have a clue how to back of the injectors - my nearest experience was working on SU carbs 30+ years ago!!

The ari bleed screw is on side of the filter housing at the top of the filter housing, next to one of the fuel pipes - you cant miss if (from memory) as its is the only screw in town :oops: :oops:

I had a chevy van and that had what looked like a tyre valve along one of the pipes, i took the cap off and pressed the valve. it wisted and farted then spat petrol on me. started perfectly after an overnight stand after that.
If you fill the new filter with fresh diesel (or better still, half diesel/half diesel injector cleaner) and refit it there's no need to crack them back or bleed the system :)
